Bonus Tweety: ack I can't choose a favorite read for this semester so I'm gonna go ahead and say all of 'em haha #HongLit

@andreana042 Very true. Looking back I feel as though a lot of us from childhood and onward were conditioned to see things a certain way when we should be respectful of other cultures and be celebrating diversity and each other.

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

Assuaging parents expectations and collision of different cultures definitely isn't a walk in the park.. gharibs attitude of actually wanting to share more of her culture with others rly touched my heart. at the end of the day, don't be put into a box, u r still u boo #HongLit

Bonus Tweety: I'd like to go to Iceland someday #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

I love the diversity of culture that gharib portrays in the graphic novel, not to mention, the art is so fun. #HongLit

@Tiana3151 I had such a pleasantly difficult time reading jemisin's story, but nonetheless I agree. It was rly novel and interesting to see a story written in such manner.

Bonus Tweety: I'm not the sun by arkells will always be that one song I'll never forget 🥲#HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

I really enjoyed mootoos way of describing her experience of expectations and authenticity. Made me reflect on how I view and feel of Korean culture and traditions. #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

@andreana042 Totally agree, really makes me think of my own family and other distant relatives who have adapted to white culture. #HongLit

A snack/treat.. not a huge fan of sweets but if it had to be a treat it'd be whiskey 🤙#HongLit

Can't get over the interview with his father towards the end of vietgone. Despite all the comedic gesture and interjection, it all came back around. super raw, complex. it's like there's trauma but a sense of togetherness to some degree. a very good kind of weird I feel #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

@mrsgrimmond Yeah that last note the father made at the end, his input on war was rly something. Not everyone's gonna be pointing fingers at each other right? So complex, but to see it written down sorta gave me a peace of mind.

boring/random?fact: I always eat the foods I don't like first to get it out of the way and save the ones I like most for last. #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

@Brendan58857359 Month python !! So I wasn't the only one thinking that haha. It's a kind of comedy I haven't seen in a while, so I feel ya there.

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

Vietgone reminds me of Franny Choi's poem earlier in the semester about fetishizing asian ppl. There's a quite a bit of sexual/sexy scenes in the play so it was a bit refreshing(and fun) to see. Just made me think "nice. I see whatya doin there Nguyen" #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

Spring breaks over but the stress remains 🥲 had to work full-time but I did get to watch more movies tho (rewatched davinciscode) #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

@mrsgrimmond Couldn't agree more with that. I could picture how early she must have had to mature and be grown in order to help her parents given the language barrier.

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

(godimsolatetothisbuthereitis) cathyp.hong has such a way with description. The whole idea of reclaiming, empowering, and embracing this "bad english" is a bold reminder to be proud of yourslf. The mixing of korean and english into profane konglish was so relatable lol #HongLit

[Yoon Jang @Yoonyjang]

You all need to see this...capybara, everyone #HongLit https://t.co/GxafS99grQ
